Abstract
Reasons for performing study: Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) sensor based techniques are becoming more popular for use in horses as a tool for objective locomotor assessment. Using currently proposed algorithmic methods only limited information about stride variables can be obtained for incoordination.

Objective: To compare several limb kinematic parameters in neurologically sound horses before and after induction of ataxia by intravenous alpha-2 agonist administration.

Study design: Prospective validation study comparing IMU sensors and motion capture with force plate data as the gold standard. […]

Every spring the European Veterinary Conference Voorjaarsdagen used to organize. Important goals of the Voorjaarsdagen Conference were to build friendships between veterinarians at a national and international level, to enhance the quality and availability of veterinary medicine and surgery, and to foster the exchange of scientific information among veterinarians.  The activities of the European Veterinary Conference have ceased with the last meeting in 2019.
